Difara's - The God Pie

God damn Droid X, can't take a decent picture. 8 mega-pixels my ass. Wait till I get the iphone 5.

The God Pie is located in a shit hole somewhere so deep in Brooklyn that they had to resort to naming avenues with letters. And it's not even a good letter, like the popular ones on Wheel of Fortune, but a weird, boring J. Making things even worse, you have to take the Q train to get there, and I didn't even know there was a Q train. Here's what it looks like on the outside.Don't worry, it's even worse inside. There's no seating, just a couple of card tables and a few assorted bridge chairs from 1982. The place hasn't been renovated since The White Album. To get to the bathroom, you have to go behind the counter to the back, where you're greeted by a small hole. I'm still waiting for an explanation for why there is both shaving cream and NyQuil in a restaurant's bathroom. The question is why anyone would go here to get pizza. And not just any pizza, but $5 a slice pizza. The answer is, it's the best pizza you will ever have. Anywhere. We've have a lot of pizza all over the city and Difara's is far and away the best. The secret is Dom Demarco. He's been making each pizza by hand forever and he has absolutely perfected it. He takes the best ingredients and puts them into a 900 degree oven for 5 minutes, then pours oil over the pie and cuts some fresh basil over it. We got the squares, because the squares are clearly better than the round. The crispy crust on the bottom is key. Here's the upskirt. We waited an hour an a half to get our first pie after ordering. This was extremely fast. Difara's is known for having waits of up to four hours for a pie, and 45 minutes just for a slice. People line up before it opens. But due to careful planning and taking to account all factors social and meteorological, we were able to perfectly time our trip. We were even able to get the large table and enough chairs for each of us.

Given the effort and patience required for a trip to Difara's, it's not a place you can go to often. We started the pizza tour one year ago with a trip to Difara's and it was an eye-opening experience that made me look at pizza differently. One year later, it's still the best there is. We even got an extra pie so we'd have leftovers to take home, for which we brought our own tins. You're welcome, Nilda.
The only problem with the pizza tour is that I get home long after Charlie's asleep. And I can't trust Nilda to be alone with Charlie because she dresses him like this.
